Pupil-DLC: An open-source deep learning pipeline for scalable, marker-less tracking of pupil dynamics across conscious and unconscious states.

Journal of Neuroscience Methods July 4, 2026 Parsa Seyfourian, Lydia C. Marks, Leslie D. Claar et al.

Pupil diameter is a non-invasive biomarker of brain state, correlating with arousal, attention, cognitive processing, and consciousness. However, existing pupillometry software often lacks scalability and robustness across diverse experimental conditions and species. We introduce Pupil-DLC, an open-source, offline, DeepLabCut-based pipeline for scalable, marker-less pupil tracking, primarily...

Method for quantifying arousal and consciousness in healthy states and severe brain injury via EEG-based measures of corticothalamic physiology.

Journal of Neuroscience Methods October 1, 2023 S Assadzadeh, Jitka Annen, Leandro R. D. Sanz et al.

Characterization of normal arousal states has been achieved by fitting predictions of corticothalamic neural field theory (NFT) to electroencephalographic (EEG) spectra to yield relevant physiological parameters. A prior fitting method is extended to distinguish conscious and unconscious states in healthy and brain injured subjects by identifying additional parameters and clusters in parameter...

Effects of a combination of 3,4-methylenedioxymeth amphetamine and caffeine on real time stimulated dopamine release in the rat striatum: Studies using fast cyclic voltammetry.

Journal of Neuroscience Methods April 15, 2018 J J O'Connor, K M O'Boyle, J P Lowry

It is well documented that caffeine exacerbates the hyperthermia associated with acute exposure to 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) in rats. Previous reports have also indicated that MDMA-related enhancement of dopamine release is exacerbated in the presence of caffeine. In the present study we have examined whether the effects of MDMA on real-time stimulated dopamine release, in the...

A novel manipulation method of human body ownership using an fMRI-compatible master-slave system.

Journal of Neuroscience Methods September 30, 2014 Masayuki Hara, Roy Salomon, Wietske van der Zwaag et al.

Bodily self-consciousness has become an important topic in cognitive neuroscience aiming to understand how the brain creates a unified sensation of the self in a body. Specifically, full body illusion (FBI) in which changes in bodily self-consciousness are experimentally introduced by using visual-tactile stimulation has led to improve understanding of these mechanisms. This paper introduces a...

Chronic infusion of PCP via osmotic mini-pumps: a new rodent model of cognitive deficit in schizophrenia characterized by impaired attentional set-shifting (ID/ED) performance.

Journal of Neuroscience Methods December 15, 2009 Christian Spang Pedersen, Pascal Goetghebeur, Rebecca Dias

The identification of animal disease-like models for cognitive symptoms in schizophrenia is of central importance to the successful development of pharmacological therapies for psychosis resulting in a functional outcome in patients. Executive function is one of the most severely affected cognitive domains in schizophrenia that remains inadequately treated by existing therapies. The rat...

Automation of the social interaction test by a video-tracking system: behavioural effects of repeated phencyclidine treatment.

Journal of Neuroscience Methods July 1995 F Sams-Dodd

The social interaction test is a valuable behavioural model for testing anxiolytic and neuroleptic drugs. The test quantifies the level of social behaviour between pairs of rats and it is usually based on manual analysis of behaviour. Advances in computer technology have made it possible to track the movements of pairs of rats in an arena, and the present paper describes the automation of the...
